What do you think is the most important thing the government should achieve through economic justice measures?

not sure / no opinion Making sure that all South Africans have the same standard of living, regardless of their talents or hard work Ensuring that all South Africans have equal access to opportunities to achieve success and build a good life for themselves The government should not do anything - people must look after themselves

The best way to achieve economic justice is to:

not sure / no opinion Increase taxes on the wealthy and distribute that money to the poor Invest in social services like education, healthcare and policing to ensure that people in poorer communities have the opportunity to better their circumstances Enforce racial targets that require employers to employ more black people Give everyone in South Africa a basic income grant Create an elite of tenderpreneurs and hope that they share their wealth with others

We can achieve land reform through (select all that apply):

not sure / no opinion Expropriating land without compensation Strengthening our land reform institutions so that our current legal framework can be better implemented Reforming public housing and speeding up grant transfers so that more people have access to housing close to urban areas Releasing state-owned land that is not being used and release that to the private sector to develop affordable housing Abolishing private land ownership entirely and let the state own all land

What do you think contributes the most to South Africa's continued economic inequality (choose all that apply)?

ActionSA believes that the current black economic empowerment and employment equity model is broken and is not achieving its goals. How can we transform South Africa's empowerment mechanism in order to address economic inequality efficiently?

How can we use social grants to make sure more people become less dependent on grants and are empowered to become self-reliant?

How can ActionSA ensure that housing and land reform is sped up and that people get access to land and housing that suits their needs?

What can be done differently to ensure that more people have the opportunity to live closer to where they work, and in areas that provide a safe and clean environment?

What are the most important steps we must take to ensure that we achieve great gender equality and protect women against gender-based violence?

What are the most important social issues we should be addressing, and what support can we give our communities to address those challenges?

As part of ActionSA’s commitment to give power back to the people of South Africa, we invite all South Africans to participate in the development of our ground-breaking consultative policy process.
